After Being Scumbed - Chapter 85
Yin Bai and Professor Sun played with the two little friends for a while, and Sun Mingrui finally brought up steaming steamed dumplings: “Come on, come on, dumplings!”
“Wenwen, Tongtong, go and pack the dishes and prepare for breakfast!”
Sun Mingrui put the steamed dumplings on the table and turned to shout to the two children.
“Come on!” Hearing that there was something to eat, Comrade Sun Jingwen couldn’t take care of the game anymore, stretched out her hand to drag her sister, and ran to the kitchen to wash her hands and tidy up the dishes and chopsticks by the way.
Yin Bai sighed, got up on crutches, followed the two children slowly, and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. While moving slowly, she looked at the back of the two children and said helplessly: “You two, slow down.”
Don’t be so nervous and anxious like a hungry tiger.
After preparing for a meal together, everyone sat around the table, waiting for the “head of the family” Sun Mingrui to unravel the pot. When the lid of the steamer was opened, a wonderful fragrance filled out. After the rich food steam dissipated, Yin Bai probed and saw the rows of crystal dumplings in the steamer, thinking that they looked good.
The size is the same, the belly is fat, and some are like transparent caterpillars, but I don’t know how it tastes.
Just when Yin Bai thought so, Sun Mingrui began to pick up the bowls to distribute dumplings for everyone. First, I picked a bowl for Professor Sun, and then I went to Yin Bai and his two children.
Yin Bai lowered his head, looked at the chubby “little worms” in the bowl, poked with his chopsticks, did not dare to move. She turned her head and glanced at Professor Sun obliquely, trying to see how the other person reacted.
Who knew that her older friend had the same mentality as her, and when her gaze came over, Professor Sun looked at her in the same way, his expression self-evident.
Okay, she, who is also a picky friend, seems to be worried about her eldest daughter’s cooking skills.
The two exchanged secretly with their eyes, and silently moved their eyes to Wenwen. Wenwen, who finally got the dumplings, happily picked up a dumpling under the quiet gaze of her sister beside her, put it on her lips and blew it twice, then bit it down.
The rich soup ran in the mouth, and while the tip of the tongue tasted good, it was also stimulated by the heat of the food. Wenwen quickly raised her hand to instigate her lips, and Hazhazi said: “Okay…Okay…”
With every word “good” she said, the look of expectation that fell on her was a little brighter.
Yin Bai couldn’t help feeling a little nervous, what is he doing? So hot, so hot, or terrible?
Wenwen didn’t realize the eager mood of her friends at all, Shiha took a long time to swallow the dumplings, only then did she say with tears from the corners of her eyes, “It’s so hot…”
Sun Mingrui sighed and looked at her helplessly: “Who told you to eat so fast? Didn’t you just eat so many snacks? Why can’t you feed you enough?”
Sun Jingwen chuckled, “Because my mother’s dumplings are delicious!”
Hearing these words, Yin Bai breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the chopsticks with the other three people on the table, put one in her mouth, and when she bit down, she suddenly heard Wenwen objectively say: “But mom, you seem to put too much salt. It’s a bit salty.”
When Wenwen said this, Yin Bai’s mouth was soaked in a salty soup, and he tasted a salty taste even more salty than salted fish…
Salty…
Yin Bai’s face changed all at once. It didn’t matter if he vomited it out, or swallowed it down, he had to swallow the whole dumpling in a hurry.
The slightly hot dumplings slid down his throat, as if swallowing a fireball. Yin Bai felt that a slight scalding sensation had passed from the esophagus to his stomach.
Ruined! So hot!
Yin Bai was anxious to find water, when she heard Sun Jingwen questioningly say: “Hey, is it salty? I think it’s okay, what do you think?”
Professor Sun, who had just swallowed a dumpling, nodded, objectively commenting: “It’s a bit salty…”
Professor Sun’s taste is weak, and Sun Jingwen decided not to take her advice. She looked at Tongtong and asked with a smile: “What do you think of Tongtong? Are my aunt’s dumplings salty?”
Tongtong smiled sweetly: “It’s not salty, the dumplings made by my aunt are so good, as good as mom’s.”
Sun Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief and felt that there should be nothing wrong with his “appropriate amount”. But as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Tongtong jumped off the chair and ran to the side of the tea shop: “I want to drink a glass of water.”
Sun Mingrui’s expression stiffened at once.
Starting with Tongtong, Yin Bai also said: “Tongtong, pour a cup for me.”
“OK!”
With Tongtong beginning, everyone moved away from the table and went to the tea shop to bring the water.
Sun Mingrui looked at everyone’s reactions and immediately understood that this dumpling is really salty. But she didn’t believe in evil, so she had to take a bite herself, and whispered, “Is it so salty…”
As a result, she bit down, and the expression on her face became more exciting when the soup was raging in her mouth.
Well, it’s really salty.
Sun Mingrui was a little embarrassed. After everyone came back, he was very embarrassed and said: “I didn’t expect to put too much salt, or we should stop eating it, how about something else?”
Professor Sun held the dumplings and opened an opening, soaked them in warm water, and comforted her: “It’s okay, don’t be so wasteful. Shabu-shabu is still edible.”
Yin Bai and the two children are doing the same thing: “Yes, you can eat shabu-shabu, don’t waste food.”
Everyone began to comfort Sun Mingrui, saying that you don’t cook often, so that’s okay. You used to help Xiaoyou, and you looked very good. Cooking is like experimenting. Trying new things will inevitably fail. Just practice a few times.
Sun Mingrui, who was comforted a lot, felt very touched, so he decided to control the amount of various seasonings tonight and prepare a feast for everyone.
When she heard her vowed to say so, everyone would inevitably have a feeling of lifting a rock and hitting their own feet…
Even Yin Bai, who “doesn’t understand people’s minds” anymore, couldn’t say anything to attack the other party, so he had to pinch his nose to agree.
However, in order to give Sun Mingrui a special understanding of the word “appropriate”, everyone decided to let her try a few vegetables first, do an experiment, and find a general concept.
So throughout the afternoon, everyone did not play games, so they squeezed in the kitchen, hurriedly lay hands on Sun Mingrui, checked the recipe, and stared at her to put the seasoning.
Everyone worked together and made a good dinner together.
At around six o’clock in the evening, everyone put the dinner prepared together on the table, and they were busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. At dinner, Yin Bai asked Tongtong to take the tablet out, dial the video call, and let everyone video with Zuo Jingyou.
Compared with everyone’s excitement, Zuo Jingyou, who was sitting in the car and heading to the venue at this time, looked lonely. She lowered her eyebrows and said enviously: “I want to eat too, and I also want to go home for the New Year.”
She doesn’t want to work, although the Spring Festival Gala is a great opportunity to increase her popularity, but if she is really allowed to choose, she only wants to be with her lover when she is reunited!
Seeing the envy in her eyes, everyone rushed to ask her to come back and talked about Sun Mingrui’s salty dumplings this morning. The children clamored about how much they helped today, and received Zuo Jingyou’s gentle praise.
Soon, the car arrived at the party venue, and Zuo Jingyou temporarily hung up the video. After Zuo Jingyou who took Yun to eat dinner, Professor Sun took out red envelopes and distributed them to everyone as usual.
Yin Bai also gave red envelopes to the two children in accordance with the tradition of their family.
After all the traditional projects on New Year’s Eve were completed, the two children wanted to drag Yin Bai to play games together. But at this time, Yin Bai answered the phone, got up after a while and said goodbye to Professor Sun Mingrui.
Professor Sun was a little curious: “Do you have other projects tonight? Are you going to find friends to play?”
Yin Bai shook his head, smiled and said to Professor Sun: “I will go to the capital and take Teacher Zuo home.”
Professor Sun gave her a helpless look, his eyes were filled with kindness: “You young people, really tossing. Go on, be careful on the road…”
“OK.”
Yin Bai nodded, and Sun Mingrui got up and drove her to the door.
After Zhang Yu had eaten New Year’s Eve dinner, he drove to the door of Zuo Jingyou’s house and picked Yin Bai to the airport. After Sun Mingrui sent Yin Bai into the car, he watched her leave, and then walked home.
As she walked back, she thought: This lover of her sister really loves her.
After spending Chinese New Year with them at home, they went to look for her non-stop. Gu’s family is romantic… It’s really good to have a picking eye this time.
Yin Bai took Zhang Yu on a private jet and flew to the capital two and a half hours later. When heading to the venue, it happened to be Zuo Jingyou’s turn to perform.
Because Zuo Jingyou filmed “Dawa” this year, Zuo Jingyou performed a dance show with girls from Tibetan areas this time on the Spring Festival Gala.
She has professional dance training, and she dances very well and beautifully. Yin Bai finished watching the show with an appreciative expression, switched back to Weibo and liked all the performances that praised Zuo Jingyou, and took the time to calculate when Zuo Jingyou had time to look at his mobile phone, and then sent a message: “Come to the backstage waiting area at 11 o’clock. I gave you a New Year’s gift. Come and pick it up quickly.”
At about ten thirty, Yin Bai was led into the waiting area in the backstage. After the person in charge found her a quiet place to sit down, Yin Bai turned on the phone and found that Zuo Jingyou had not responded to her.
So she waited left and right, banging on the crutches in the waiting room, she couldn’t wait any longer, so she was asked to call Zuo Jingyou who was watching the Spring Festival Gala at the front desk.
Nearly 11:30, Zuo Jingyou’s footsteps finally sounded outside the house. Yin Bai heard the familiar footsteps and instantly stood up on crutches. After finishing his new scarf and new coat, he leaned on his new crutches and looked towards the door, and said aloud when Zuo Jingyou appeared. : “Surprise!”
“Zuo Jingyou, Happy New Year’s Eve!”
Zuo Jingyou wore a bright red Tibetan costume and stood at the door with his head full of jewels, looking at Yin Bai with surprise.
Her eyes quickly filled with joy, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she chuckled and said, “It seems that I have to refund tonight.”
Hey? Refund? What’s the meaning?
Before Yin Bai could react, Zuo Jingyou took a few steps forward, hugged Yin Bai, clasped her slender waist and said with great joy: “Dear Xiaobai, Happy New Year’s Eve!”
“It’s great to be able to hug you before the New Year!”
